List it first, but don't go into a lot of detail. Simply list your successes at the company, then the new employer will see it and thing "oh, this person is successful" before scanning to the next position where they'll see that you're also qualified.

It is always best to go in order of your past positions starting with your most recent. It shows that your resume is current and that you have done your research in creating it. Also, even if it doesn't have anything to do with the position that you seek, it will show length/dedication as well as diversified skills. Another tip: make sure that your job titles are in bold or in someway noticeable, because that is what will get the recruiters attention.
